Overview
The 28 is a machine totally designed and precisely built for one
purpose: Offshore trophy fishing. Twin inboard Volvo diesel power that
delivers a precise combination speed and economy, with the added benefit
of Weight and Balance that comes with twin inboards. Generator and
HVAC, plus a cabin with six feet of head room. V-berth with filler.
Galley with microwave, sink, refrigerator and table. Full walk-in
electric head with shower. And storage areas throughout. Best of all is
how easy she is to maintain. The dry, oversized engine compartment
provides roomy access to the hydraulics, generator, pumps and batteries.
The bilge runs in a tunnel underneath the gel-coated engine room, so
all vital mechanics stay dry and clean. The air intakes are high above
the sheer to keep corrosive salt spray out. Even the cabin walls are
finished gel so they can be easily cleaned and kept free of mildew. The
28 is complete. There's a very short "extras" list. The most popular is
the command tower, which encloses the lower helm station and provides a
complete second station above.
